Jennifer is a PhD student in Clinical Psychology with a background in medicine, clinical research, chronic care management, and mental health. Her interests include assessment of neuropsychological disorders and the role of neuroplasticity in understanding how biology, environment, cognition, and relationships shape resilience across the lifespan. In the future, Jennifer hopes to apply these insights to develop more effective, individualized interventions for psychological and neuropsychological conditions, as well as preventive mental health models that support long-term adaptation and resilience. She hopes to work with individuals with complex psychiatric, medical, and neurocognitive conditions.
